When you should stop listening to others?

Today it hit me hard. Why was it that I stopped believing in myself and started to believe in other people's words?

I remember a while back, probably around 2009-2010, I wanted to create a blog and create a youtube channel because I knew that people have been successful with that and advertisements.

I started out well, created my YouTube, created a blog, and got excited. I made about 50+ videos on my YouTube and was getting subscribers and interactions. A little while later YouTube messages me about putting ads on my videos and I set up my AdSense account with Google

I was so happy, I felt like a little kid at a candy shop. When I told everyone what has happened, a lot of people said to be careful and that it's a scam, or that it will never work. Little by little I stopped believing in me and kept believing in them.

Then I just gave up completely.......until recently, I started WA and it was just to see what happens and where this may take me. 2016, was pretty much a trial year and I learned a lot.

Now that I have more free time on my hands I've been crushing it with the studying and learning everything that I can with marketing, affiliate marketing, and creating traffic. That spark that I had before has been re-lit and I believe in myself. I believe that I can do this and turn it into something profitable. Why? because I am a hard worker. There is no magic to this. As long as you are consistent, put in the work, and believe in yourself and content, then you will succeed.

When you start helping others succeed you will accelerate your own success.
As a side project, I started to help my cousin start his business. He went from an idea to website, social media accounts, and e-mailing list in a little over a month. He now has 8 new clients, five 5-star Yelp reviews and over 100 followers on his social media.

We worked hard to make it possible, and I will never let anyone tell me that it's not possible, or that the "ONLINE WORLD/BUSINESS" Is a scam.

Oh, and I did log into my Adsense account today I have $70 bucks just sitting there..... I never did anything except put the ads on my youtube and made my videos. I now wonder what could've happened if I continued....
